Watching The Fish

I love fish. And whenever I say that, most people assume I love either eating fish or catching them. But neither of those is what I mean.

What I mean, more than anything, is that I love watching them at home in the places where they live.

I love watching fish swim, or glide gracefully in the current, somehow managing to stay still in moving water.

This is one of my favorite mangroves in Belize, where I can watch the whole lifecycle of some fish. Off there in the distance is one of the places I like to snorkel with my students on the fore-reef.
